What do you think of Sen. Julia Boseman's effort to legislate a moratorium on new cement plants?I don't agree with this and think we should welcome Titan with open arms and stop importing cement when it is in our own backyard. People did not want GE when it first said it wanted to come.- Rebecca ShiptonSomeone needs to save us from the idiotic actions of our county commissioners.- Bohdan MalykI consider it a strict misuse of her authority. They are meeting the current requirements, so she now wants to change the rules in order to win?- Raymond B. DawberLet's change the question: In ... hard economic times, what do you think of Sen. Boseman's moratorium on creating 160 good-paying permanent jobs and hundreds more construction jobs to build the plant?- Thomas A. RudenThis is leadership. Many business leaders still do not get it. Residents do not want known corporate polluters like the cement industry to spew more mercury into our air. Quality of life trumps greed.- David PyleIt was totally appropriate in that our local "leaders" chose to give $4.2 million of our tax dollars to Titan without our knowledge. Considering the potential environmental consequences, good for her!- John M. BatesIt's not wise to compromise the long term growth of our community on the short term business plan of Titan which include known hazards to our health and environment. Yes moratorium!- Penny PattersonUnneeded and unwise.- Arthur DarwinI'm curious, seems to me Titan has every right to locate here. Preventing (a business) for what (it) might do seems about as un-American as Ms. Boseman hopes to be.- Ben King
